<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CL8771</b></div><div><i>this is the best and probably easiest time to trade for an elite or at least a reliable goalie. with the expansion draft coming up and all the goalies that are potentially available thru trade and fa (Fleury, Bishop, Andersen, Howard, Ward, Johnson, Allen, Pavelec, Riemer, etc) goalie value, as hard as it is to judge their value, is at a low point.</i></div></div> Agreed, it is a great time to get a goalie, but Niemi's value went down after his first season with the stars and he is not a solid #1 goalie worth the 4.5 million cap hit that another NHL team would want. Nill won't be able to spend another 7 million on a proven #1 free agent goalie this off season because the Stars are stuck with Niemi's 4.5 million contract and a Lehtonen buyout is going hurt the owners pocket book as well as count against the cap.
